Whoah: this title sucks all the oxygen out of what is a very interesting article centering on an interview with Phil Rogaway, one of the world's great cryptographers.

The title should instead be the one The Atlantic chose, which closely mirrors Rogaway's recent paper: "The Moral Failure of Computer Scientists".

Submitters to HN are meant to use the original title from the article where possible, unless that title is so bad it detracts from the article.

Sorry, our mistake. Fixed.
J'ACCUSE! Please, sir, read the HN guidelines, which I've helpfully linked here:
